Andrew is currently a funding assessor with Creative New Zealand, managing millions of dollars in government funding for the performing arts industry. He was a former director at JR McKenzie Trust, the largest philanthropic organisation in the country. He was previously a senior adviser at Philanthropy New Zealand. This rich experience managing financial assets makes him an ideal candidate for the trust. Raised in a Clendon state house, he experienced the harmful effects of gambling first-hand. He is driven by the belief that the proceeds from gambling should be spent on prevention and is keen to back our local clubs and charities.
